Speak at an NCAJ CLE
Are you a less experienced speaker? Then co-present! We can pair you with a more experienced attorney. This approach not only halves the preparation time, it also provides you with a new mentor. Contact Veronica McKoy to learn more.
Serve as an NCAJ Convention Chair
Help shape one of NCAJ’s biggest events of the year! Convention Chairs work alongside the NCAJ professional team to help create an engaging, memorable Convention for our members.

Looking for Other Ways to Get Involved?
Want to get involved with NCAJ but looking for a lighter lift? The New Lawyers Division is active at law schools across North Carolina, and we could use your help!
There are several easy ways to get involved:
- Join a Law School Panel: Volunteer to speak on a panel or share your experience on a topic of interest to law students. Panels are typically held during lunchtime and are a great way to introduce students to NCAJ and the practice of law.
- Become a Mentor: Participate in our Coffee with Counsel program and connect with a law student virtually or in person. Share your experiences, answer questions, and help a future lawyer navigate the beginning of their career.
You don’t have to take on a leadership position to make a difference. A little time can go a long way toward helping grow the future lawyers of North Carolina.
Interested in getting involved? Contact Juli Dambro, NCAJ Sections, Divisions & Women’s Caucus Manager to learn more.
